NOTICE
The padlock shaft diameter is important to
the disabling function of the switch. With
any padlock used to lock the switch, test
the switch after installation to ensure that it
is properly disabled.
Children or untrained people can be
seriously injured by this machine. This
risk increases with unsupervised operation.
To help prevent unsupervised operation,
disable and lock the switch before leaving
machine unattended! Place key in a well-
hidden or secure location.

Disabling & Locking
Switch
Figure 11. Switch disabled by a padlock.
The ON/OFF switch can be disabled and locked
by inserting a padlock through the ON button,
as shown. Locking the switch in this manner can
prevent unauthorized operation of the machine,
which is especially important if the machine is not
stored inside an access-restricted building.
IMPORTANT: Locking the switch with a padlock
only restricts its function. It is not a substitute
for disconnecting power from the machine when
adjusting or servicing.

Workpiece
Inspection
Some workpieces are not safe to sand or may
require modification before they are safe to sand.
Before sanding, inspect all workpieces for the
following:
•
Material Type: This machine is intended for
sanding natural and man-made wood prod-
ucts. This machine is NOT designed to sand
metal, glass, stone, tile, plastics, drywall,
cement backer board, laminate products, etc.
Sanding improper materials increases risk of
respiratory harm to operator and bystanders
due to especially fine dust inherently created
by all types of sanding operations—even
if a dust collector is used. Additionally, life
of machine and sanding belts will be great-
ly reduced (or immediately damaged) from
sanding improper materials or from exposure
to fine dust created when doing so.
•
Foreign Objects: Nails, staples, dirt, rocks
and other foreign objects are often embed-
ded in wood. While sanding, these objects
can become dislodged and tear sanding belt
Always visually inspect your workpiece for
these items. If they cannot be removed, DO
NOT sand the workpiece.
•
Wet or "Green" Stock: Sanding wood with a
moisture content over 20% causes unneces-
sary clogging and wear on the sanding belt,
increases the risk of kickback, and yields
poor results.
•
Excessive Glue or Finish: Sanding
workpieces with excess glue or finish will load
up the abrasive, reducing its usefulness and
lifespan.
